4. Elevated Wheelchairs

Jake Eadie

If you suffer a mobility threatening accident at some point between now and 2033, the future of wheelchair technology may level the playing field a bit. Designed by Melbourne student Jake Eadie, this elevated wheelchair changes the way we see wheelchair-bound people by giving them a kind of equal footing in day-to-day body language situations. The concept design has two modes — sitting and standing — and employs durable shock absorbers for rough urban terrain.
